ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Realizability

Okay, kiddo. So imagine you have a big puzzle to solve. But this is a special puzzle, because instead of just putting the pieces together, you have to make sure that the puzzle can actually exist in the real world. That's what realizability is all about - making sure something can actually happen in real life.

Let's say we're trying to solve a puzzle that involves building a spaceship. We have to make sure that all the parts of the spaceship exist and can be put together the way we need them to. We have to make sure the spaceship won't fall apart or explode, and that it can actually fly.

Realizability is like a big checklist we have to go through to make sure our puzzle solution is possible in the real world. We have to think about things like physics, engineering, and materials - we can't just make up something that wouldn't actually work in real life.

So, whenever we're trying to solve a problem, we have to ask ourselves if it's actually possible and realistic. That's what realizability is all about - making sure our solutions can actually happen in the real world, not just in our imaginations. Does that make sense, kiddo?
